Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:17:27 +0000#comment-784913What Lincoln said about freeing slaves and preserving the Union could be applied to his response to the 1862 Dakota Conflict: if he could preserve the Union by hanging all the Indians, he would do that; if he could preserve the Union by hanging no Indians, he would do that; and if he could preserve the Union by hanging some Indians and leaving others be, he would — and did — do that, too. He attempted to walk a fine line between hanging no Indians, possibly leading Minnesota and other then-northwestern states to keep their young men at home rather than send them to Southern battlefields, and hanging all the Indians, possibly leading to a wider outbreak of violence on their part and again keeping potential Union soldiers home. In this case his merciful impulses coincided with the right thing to do to save the Union, which was his first, last and only objective.
